I have exactly the same problem. One of our clients PC's crashed and it was reloaded with Win XP Sp3. Since the reload i get exactly the same problem. I initially thought that the guys who reloaded the PC stuffed something up. So, I reloaded it myself tonight and to my horror the same thing happened again.
I've also tried everything on your list. In my testing, I've found that the older global print driver works but secure print is a bit of a problem. To me, it seems that something with the newer drivers isn't quite compatible with either Windows XP or Service Pack 3.
Im going back to my client on Monday and going to see what happens if i use the driver that came with the disc. The interesting thing to me is that the PC was printing perfectly fine before the reload.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Regards
Ryan
